Nice earthiness and balance. Solid value at under $20.

Red cherry skin and plum/berry. Chocolate notes & dried cranberries. Palate is tart and kinda bitey.

Earth and fruit on the nose, medium bodied. Great representative of SB.

This was a cool experiment, as Sam and I shared this same vintage in 2015. It was too hot back then, and while it's still a little tannic for my tastes, it has mellowed considerably. It's held onto its notes of chicory and hot cinnamon but smoothed them out with tart cranberry.

Sep 13th, 2017I've always had good luck with HP so I'll just keep going with them. Fresh cherries and spice on the nose. Very...smelly. That's a good thing. Oak, berries, a dollop of funk, and smoke. Five spice and flowers hanging out there, as well. Good acid with some bite on the finish. This is a baby, baby wine and fresh is the word of the day.

Crazy flavors compared to the other pinot niors of the evening. Not balanced, very funky. Interesting experience. Spicy nose, with hints of tire
